Kids Are Using Bitcoin to Buy Fake IDs Online

[zeetubes]

Morality != legality, it might be legal to fuck your mates wife but it is immoral, same thing the opposite. I just don't see how this is bad unless you let the state dictate your morals.

Not quite a morals issue, either.

If you fuck your mate's wife, and she had no say, then it's rape, which is illegal.
If you fuck your mate's wife and she consented, it's her choice over yours, so it's mostly just unfortunate for you 

I think this ad sums it up nicely.

This news is intent to defame the bitcoin, Money also can buy fake IDs.

That is the real intention. But too many negative stories like this will backfire upon them.

A more concerning thing for me is the Military getting involved in video games to desensitize children to killing.
And throw on that offering college to 18 year old kids after a few years of becoming hired killers. (often times).
They should think of raising the minimum age of going in the military to 21, like alcohol. 

We have bigger worries than fake ID's...

I know I'm stating the obvious here but aren't they buying fake IDs and been doing so before Bitcoin? Bitcoin as any other currency or commodity can be misused but that doesn't change the fact that it has nothing to with it, but with the peoples that using it attention

You know, a few years back, the IDF (Israeli Defence Force) would find its potential fighter pilots in video game arcades.

They'd keep on the lookout for the top scorers and then offer them positions in the air force.

Indeed...like the tri letter agencies find all the best hackers and get them to help instead ;-p

This problem will be solved when there is no longer an infinite amount of fiat money being printed and shipped directly to military industrial complex war profiteers.

Please see Bitcoin vs. Political Power

P.S.
Did you know President Eisenhower warned America about the dangers of the military industrial complex?

kids have used dollars to buy fake id's for a much longer amount of time.  Kids use computers to do the same thing themselves...  So I suggest we ban everything so kids will stay out of trouble forever.. agreed?

[jbrnt]

What is the article trying to say? Bitcoin is evil and is only used for shaddy deals?

Well, kids have been using cash to buy fake ids, drugs, guns (list goes on) with cash for decades. So cash is evil too? I think "bitcoin" has become the magic word in journalism. Pick any old story, stick in the magic word and people will read it.

I bought fake ID from adverts in The Viz and HMV using GBP. Once may fake ID even provided the police with my particulars, since I was in no fit state to give them up myself 

Many thousands of these fake ID's must have been sold and yet the adverts were never stopped, never mind slating GBP over it!

It took bloody ages to get those ID's, since money had to be sent using a cheque. Now the lucky wee buggers can send payment in a matter of minutes!

I'm sure children use Cash to buy these things also, Can't blame the currency.

This will be used as a false flag to gain further control over bitcoin and crypto as a whole.

This sort of thing is what government does.

Ask me.

At a very low point in my life I worked for government.

[Cryptopher]

What a piece of crap article. Anyone can run an article based on something that can be bought using bitcoins.

I find it ironic that a non-forgable currency/asset can be used to buy a forgeable ID. I mean come on, the problem here is that ID cards aren't robust enough. By discussing the medium in which is used to purchase said fake IDs only shows that officials accept them as a part of our society.

yea, i'm suspecting the big bank illuminati are secretly funding some terrorist cells with bitcoins, via some kind of bitcoin mixer.

once the cell does their evil deeds, a computer or smartphone is conveniently found at an assailant's apartment with the bitcoin addresses used for funding.  local bitcoins was used for conversion to FIAT.

Smoking bullet to ban bitcoin.

Children will be Children.
It could be worse.
